“I am a bit concerned that the statistic may to a certain extent rise the next few days and I hope that is the last one, but we cannot discount a higher number because by then the symptoms for those who had a nice time during the New Year’s Eve parties would certainly appear if a person who is Covid-19 positive had attended such gatherings.

“I appeal to you please for goodness sake let’s stop this infection from getting worse and comply with all the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
